Better Brakes, Better Portfolios
In Formula 1, the cars with the most advanced braking systems are the ones that can accelerate most aggressively.
Professionals know brakes give you the confidence and capability to drive at full speed.
In portfolio construction, volatility strategies work exactly the same way:
The better your downside protection, the more capital you can deploy into the opportunities you truly want.
CI Volatility: Your Formula 1 Brakes
With more robust and predictable downside protection, allocators can increase sizing in their other portfolios around:
high-alpha equities
concentrated stock baskets
private market exposures
growth allocations
illiquid strategies with risky long-term profiles
The point is not to take more risk.
The point is to take the right risks, because the downside is covered.
When CI Volatility is protecting your portfolio, investors can pursue mandates and niches they previously avoided due to risk constraints.
Our volatility instruments can deliver asymmetric protection per unit of capital.
A small, well-designed hedge can replace a large allocation to an underperforming equity somewhere else.
If your current portfolio construction relies on expensive, or ineffective diversification to control drawdowns, CI Volatility offers better brakes.
